“…28 The improved security situation in Bosnia allowed NATO to consistently reduce and restructure its forces: if initially it deployed 60,000 troops within IFOR, SFOR went down from 31,000 Compared to the post-war years, the situation in BiH has changed dramatically: the two Entities coexist peacefully, there has been a decline in ethnically motivated violence and most importantly, there is a very low risk of the country descending into a full-blown war, although minor conflicts might still occur. 33 What is more, thanks to the combined efforts of international and domestic actors, which collaborated through the Defence Reform Commission, the country now has a single Ministry of Defence and professional Armed Forces (AFBiH) -the goals seen as inconceivable in 1995. 34 These changes alone prompt us to speak about the success of the military clauses of the DPA.…”

This paper will start with an analysis of the Dayton Peace Agreement, and assess to what extent it focused on peace-building, state-reconstruction and democratization. It will provide an overview of major peace-building, state-reconstruction and democratization initiatives by international and local actors in post-war Bosnia. Following the often-presented argument that "Dayton is a good peace agreement but a bad blueprint for a democratic state," the paper will ask if the Dayton Peace Agreement has failed in the consolidation of Bosnian statehood and the democratization of the country. In order to do this, an in-depth analysis of the current situation in terms of state consolidation and democratization will be given. The main argument of the paper demonstrates that while the Dayton Agreement had some inherent weaknesses, actions by local elites and international state-builders also explain some of the current issues of the Bosnian state.

“…All case countries collected data on ethno-cultural characteristics, which are not required by the EU; however as minority and language rights are linked to the proportional representation of the population, the collection of this data becomes a necessity. This chapter adds to recent research on censuses in the Western Balkans which focuses on the construction of national identity through the census categories (Bieber, 2015), the aspect of ethnicity (Daskalovski, 2013;Visoka & Gjevori, 2013) as well as the politics behind the population count (Daskalovski, 2013;Keil & Perry, 2015). Such politics are also relevant in other geographical contexts (Leibler & Breslau, 2005;Urla, 1993), and confirm the importance of the domestic context in census processes.…”

“…Within the framework of Europeanisation there is scant research on census-taking (Keil, 2015;Keil & Perry, 2015). Recently more attention has been paid to the censuses in the Western Balkan region, but this research focuses foremost on the construction of national identity through the census categories (Bieber, 2015) or on the aspect of ethnicity (Daskalovski, 2013;Visoka & Gjevori, 2013).…”

“…As for censuses in the Western Balkans, there has been a recent increase in research projects (Bieber, 2015;Daskalovski, 2013;Keil & Perry, 2015;Visoka & Gjevori, 2013). All of these studies are qualitative, and are for example based on single cases (Daskalovski, 2013) or comparative case studies of the countries (Bieber, 2015;Visoka & Gjevori, 2013).…”

Recently, more attention has been paid to the politics of numbers behind the population count (Daskalovski, 2013;Keil & Perry, 2015), but so far there is little research on the impact of the EU on the censuses in the Western Balkans (Keil, 2015).…”

In 2000, the European Union (EU) extended the membership perspective to the Western Balkans; however these countries have taken different political paths towards EU accession at different speeds. The population census is one of the conditions for EU accession and part of the eighteenth acquis chapter on statistics. This article seeks to explain the variation in census-taking in the 2010 census round in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia considering two Europeanisation mechanisms: (a) the conditionality and (b) the legitimacy of the EU regulations in the area of census-taking. While conditionality assesses the cost-benefit calculation between the EU rewards/pressure and domestic adoption costs, legitimacy analyses whether the EU census regulations will be accepted based on their perception of appropriateness. Congruence analysis will be used to compare the effectiveness of the Europeanisation mechanisms on the censuses in the countries under investigation. The study concludes that in Croatia legitimacy had the most impact, whereas the cases of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia can be better explained by conditionality. Therewith this study contributes to the recent findings that conditionality as well as legitimacy matter for research on Europeanisation.
